Anticipation

It’s difficult to imagine that in one week I’ll be half a world away in Beijing again. I left China a changed person and so very grateful that I got to see God’s work in action. I miss the children so much that I just have to return one more time. Thanks to my sponsor - Anita (daughter #1), I’ll be on my way soon. Yay!

Back in the States, I was able to follow the children’s adoption stories and development through networking sites. God is definitely moving and touching hearts! There have been so many matches and volunteers going through both orphanages. Praise God!

I am filled with excitement as my teammates (Elissa Lin Rathe & Julia Ri) and I prep for our trip. Special thanks to all our friends and family for prayers and filling all our empty suitcases with donated goods. You guys are just awesome!

Our team will be staying at Shepherd’s Field Children’s Village for 10 days. We look forward to sharing our adventures with you soon!

Blessings,
Mary
